Exit pupil explained Click here for more info Delivers Optical Perfection, Whether Day or Night This particular model offers an 8x magnification and a 42mm objective lens diameter. As it sounds, the 8x magnification produces an image that appears as if the user were eight times closer to their subject, while the objective lens diameter refers to how much light can be gathered to form that image. While for daytime use a lens diameter of 21 to 25mm is useful, for night-time viewing something between 35 to 50mm is recommended. Therefore the 42mm specification here indicates excellent suitability for low light visualisation. Also worth considering for low light work is the exit pupil. Here that is 5.3mm, which for 8×42 binoculars is arrived at via 42 divided by 8 = 5.3 exit pupil in mm. Generally when there is less light around, binoculars with an exit pupil of 5 to 7mm are desirable. Another thing to take into account is the field of view, which here is a wide 114 metres, and is defined as the width of the viewable field at a distance of 1000m from the point of observation.
